That's especially weird considering that "\P" should be an invalid escape sequence, which should give you a compiler warning/error and/or should make "\PATH" give identical results to "\\PATH".
Unless you further escaped these before compiling it?
That is wierd. It seems to be an error on rebuild. Disregard those results I guess. I don't know how I got it to run. Here is another test I just tried, making this set of boost functions and thier documentation appear even more confusing to me. #include <iostream> #include <sstream> #include <boost/filesystem.hpp> // Just a garbage console application to do some manual testing. int main() { std::cout << boost::filesystem::native("C://PATH") << std::endl; std::cout << boost::filesystem::native("C:/PATH") << std::endl; std::cout << boost::filesystem::native("C:\\PATH") << std::endl; std::cout << boost::filesystem::native("\\PATH") << std::endl; std::cout << boost::filesystem::native("/PATH") << std::endl; std::cout << boost::filesystem::native("//PATH") << std::endl << std::endl; std::cout << boost::filesystem::native(reinterpret_cast<char *>(L"C://PATH")) << std::endl; std::cout << boost::filesystem::native(reinterpret_cast<char *>(L"C:/PATH")) << std::endl; std::cout << boost::filesystem::native(reinterpret_cast<char *>(L"C:\\PATH")) << std::endl; std::cout << boost::filesystem::native(reinterpret_cast<char *>(L"\\PATH")) << std::endl; std::cout << boost::filesystem::native(reinterpret_cast<char *>(L"/PATH")) << std::endl; std::cout << boost::filesystem::native(reinterpret_cast<char *>(L"//PATH")) << std::endl; return 0; } 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0
